Has anyone tried removing the trim piece that the switch is actually attached to?
To do so you'd have to have removed the side panel, vent, and many other clips, screws, and fasteners.

This was req'd to install a P3 vent gauge in my 1M, and I don't see much difference in the X1's dash structure.

Don't complicate it more than it needs to be....just pull the vent.
